Cognitive Coaching^SM, offered throughout the region, is a model that employs a set of effective communication skills for the purpose of mediating another person’s thinking.  Its purpose is to allow participants to become skilled in assisting another in becoming a more self-directed learner.

Strategies learned include trust building, rapport, and use of wait time, paraphrasing techniques, effective inquiry, and minimizing unproductive responding behaviors.  The eight-day training provides theory, demonstration, practice, and coaching on the strategies used.

The benefits of Cognitive Coaching^SM being offered as a regional program are:

1. building the capacity of existing administrative staff
2. providing a pool of trained coaches to support new and aspiring administrators entering a district
3. collaborating with the counties of Region VII (Fresno, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, and Tulare) to customize the logistics of the training offered

 Training opportunities include:

1. attending a cohort that is pre-scheduled at your convenience
2. creating your own district/county cohort for those interested in building capacity within your organization
   1. dates and location would be scheduled at your convenience
   2. would need a minimum of 25 participants with a maximum of 35
   3. build capacity of exiting administrative staff within the districts and counties of Region VII
